Definate warble this one is nearing maturity the brown colorization indicates the larvae is forming it`s crysalis after dropping from it`s host this hardens and the pupae\ maggot then metamorphisizes into it`s adult form, the bot fly.....truly one of nature`s disgusting miracles.

I dont know what kind of larvae it isbut it is very common in south Texas in cattle and rabbits. In the early fall you will see tiny lumps on the backs of cattle if they have not been wormed properly.
